Washington, D.C. is famous for cherry blossoms…while Avalon has the beautiful Bradford Pear trees!
The business district along Dune Drive is lined with trees in full bloom.  The white flowers are short lived- and will blow around like snow flakes on the next windy day. But in the meantime, it’s a very pretty sight as you drive toward town.
It’s odd that we call this “snow fencing”. Not sure where the name originated, since we rarely have snow on the beach…oh, except for this year 😉
The Borough of Stone Harbor is replacing the damaged fencing along the edge of the sand dunes.
 Purchased our beach tags today- yes, the locals have to buy them, too! Â
Prior to May 31st, seasonal tags are discounted at $20 each. Avalon and Stone Harbor tags are reciprocal for “crossing the border”.
Avalon and Stone Harbor are participating in the nationwide Open House weekend. Great time to sample the inventory of sale properties at the shore.Â
If you have any specific questions, please give me a call 609-967-7950 or send an e-mail: ann@anndelaney.com   I appreciate the opportunity to help 🙂
Our “April summer” is coming to an end. The dry, hot air has been replaced with our typical damp, salty breeze.
Notice how we call it “wind” in the winter, and a “breeze” in the warmer months??Â
Still sunny and comfortable…no complaints!
Visit Avalon and Stone Harbor this Saturday and Sunday for our big Open House Weekend.

This was brought to my attention by a local property owner who likes to fish: https://www.countmyfish.noaa.gov/register/anglerForm.jsp
Registration is required (no fee for now) for salt water fishing in New Jersey (as well as other states).  Â
Will the average vacationer casting off the jetty or shore line know about this?
The fog lifted just in time for a beautiful Sunday morning.Â
Church bells echoed off of the calm bay. Very peaceful…
Mid-tide allowed me to take a “short cut” on my kayak to a nearby basin. Shhh, don’t tell  😉
Clarification of New Jersey law regarding pedestrian crossings:
The driver of a vehicle must stop and stay stopped for a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
Had company for kayaking today. My nephew and I were a bit chilly, so thankfully we both stayed dry!Â
Great weather (although the sea breeze is keeping temperatures cool) and the island is busy. Should be a perfect spring weekend. Enjoy!
